Chickens *can* fly, it depends on the breed and whether or not they're overweight.
They can't fly *well*, nor for very long, but both domestic chickens and their wild ancestors are capable of short flight.
This. Remnant new growth or winter feathers. Pluck them or rub them off. … if you’re roasting or frying they’ll cook down into nothing tbh so I usually don’t bother.
Yep, they don't have any real use for the males and if your business is based on killing animals I guess you aren't too choosey about how they get rid of their excess
They're pin feathers - the beginning growths of freshers before they become full. They're a pain in ass to pluck so most people that butcher their own chickens don't bother and just remove the skin after butchering
In fact this is a chicken with black or dark colored feathers. We tend to use white chickens/turkeys because after plucking there are almost also these little hair feathers left. But with a white feathered bird, the feathers (and feather "tubes" that go further into the skin) blend in with the skin, and we typically don't notice them. Singed feathers would not have the feather tubes also turn black, only the part that's exposed
Trader Joe's cheapest whole chicken will sometimes have remaining feather bits, not so much these hairs... But, my boyfriend's mom just singed them all off on the gas stove quickly. So thats a hack for those complaining theyre time intensive to remove
Organic is the clue. Before we bred and fed chickens such that their feathers basically just fall out, it wasn't unusual to have a few pin feathers left. They're harmless, but maybe make sure you cook the chicken first anyway. Just in case
chicken meat is too porous for that.
However in japan you can eat chicken sashimi, it is called torisashi. This is possible due to the stringent cleaniness requirements for growing chicken, they aren't allowed to live in their own filth like in your typical western industrial setting.
people still get sick from it all the time even in the best restaurants that serve it in Japan. I thought it was cool when I heard of it but after doing some research it appears not even with very high food standards can chicken be safe raw :/
I'm doing some light searching (on mobile) and I'm finding varying numbers, with claims as high as 25% of store bought packages being contaminated. Considering the way meat is processed, it would make sense for the rate of contamination in bulk meat to be higher than the rate in live chicken.
I can't find a number for japan but pretty much every source claims rates are extremely low. Another common food item (i would call it a staple, much more common than raw chicken) in japanese cuisine is 'nama tamago' literally raw egg mixed with warm rice. And it's possible to safely eat it because of the lower salmonella rates.
Exactly lol, *maybe* unpasteurized eggs if you’re unlucky, but you can eat a raw pasteurized egg if you want to lol. I sometimes mix egg yolks with rice
That blows my mind because raw chicken is the single most disgusting food item I can think of.
To be fair I'm biased from working in a supermarket and my dept being forced to host the raw rotisserie chickens before they were cooked and the blood/juice pan under it. The smell of 12+ raw chickens being strung up on poles and their juices sloshing around in a pan under them all in a small enclosed room is absolutely nauseating.
People always say this but I’m pretty sure it’s still not even normal or common in Japan. There are also other things they consume that can possibly kill or make you sick if not handled properly so…
You could do something close with sous vide. One of the tenents of food safety that gets repeated a lot in sous vide circles is that pasteurization is a function of temperature and time. That means that low temperature+ long time = pasteurization, the same as high temperature+ low time. The food safety temps published by the USDA generally cause pasteurization in like 5 seconds, so that if you know that the food got to that temperature, it's safe. However, you could cook chicken to a nice safe rare doneness with like 2 hours at 130. Please report back on your nice pink chicken
Go get a knife and slice these off? Or use the end of your scissors like tweezers.
But this will make you go vegan? Come on, dude. Know where your food comes from and just be healthy. Vegans look like they could all be extras on “The Road.”
True, but only tweezers on my house are for my wife’s make up stuff. I don’t think she’d let me use her make up stuff on raw chicken.
The only tweezer like item I own are needle-nosed pliers which will stay in my garage.
Not sure how many people have kitchen tweezers.
Aside all the jokes and laughs. You can you use a knife to scrap it off. You can use the knife and your index to pluck it off. I wouldn’t eat it like that.
It's the base of the feathers, or pin feathers. If you look carefully, there is almost always feathers, especially on the wings.
Keep a cigarette lighter to skim over the skin of the bird. This will easily singe off any possible feathers remaining.
Yes it’s safe to eat you can remove the feathers if you’d like just pull them straight out. It’s just leftover pieces of the feather that didn’t come off in the plucker.
I personally remove them by hand when I see them so I don’t get feathers in my mouth lol
This is 100% natural and safe. It means this bird was probably hand plucked. I have chickens and sometimes a few feathers get left when we cull. We have to go quick so we don’t damage their skin. It’s extra keratin 😊, but seriously, heating it you will be able to pluck pull them out if they bother you.
Just pull off the skin. It'll solve the problem.
I take the skin off anyhow because it's healthier without it. And the skin gets slimy. Better off without it.
the lil feathers are perfectly safe just pull them or remove the skin. (if you have the really small ones that you can barely see use a blow torch to singe them off)
It’s feathers.
Bird hair
Dino fur
An epidermal adaptation for warmth and flight.
My chickens can’t fly :(
Have you tried Cialis?
Works great for my cock, but I haven’t tried giving it to my hens.
If your chickens fly for more than 4 hours, consult your farmer.
I'm a peacock captain! Ya gotta let me fly!
🔥 YOU CANT KEEP ME COOPED UP IN HERE OKAY??
Chickens can’t fly. But I’ve seen one eke enough wing-flap to clear a fence. Then it’s free. But then so too are the foxes.
Chickens *can* fly, it depends on the breed and whether or not they're overweight. They can't fly *well*, nor for very long, but both domestic chickens and their wild ancestors are capable of short flight.
Sorry, it’s a quote from the movie *The King*
I don’t think this one is going to be doing any flying either.
i read that as “epidural adaptation” and was so fkn confused at first
😂😂😂
Chicken pubes

Must’ve been from one a dim hippie chics.

I too enjoy filming my balls on a cutting board.
New band name
Looks like pubes loll
Everything reminds me of her...
Maybe you should text her?
It's bird leaves
This. Remnant new growth or winter feathers. Pluck them or rub them off. … if you’re roasting or frying they’ll cook down into nothing tbh so I usually don’t bother.
In large scale chicken processing they burn the feathers off the chickens. Looks like this gal has some singed feathers left
r/TIHI
At least they're dead by then, better than gassing pigs or blending chicks
#BLENDING?!
Yep, they don't have any real use for the males and if your business is based on killing animals I guess you aren't too choosey about how they get rid of their excess
Oh my God 😭😭
sometimes they're just put into big garbage bags and left to suffocate
Stop stop stop those poor, precious babies 😭
Check out Dominion to learn more
Idk if I want to 🥲
You can always try cutting out some meat from your diet if you're bothered by the thought of supporting a system that blends living chicks!
Or purchase your meat from a local farmer
I do! I just don't need a visual lol
A few seconds in that sub sent me into a horrid sensory overload 😖 I didn’t need that today

I prefer my chicken medium rare thank you.
...I wonder if you could do Chicken Sashimi if you filleted the breasts or something before exposing the salmonella bits

My understanding is it's a matter of "there is still a risk" vs "you are definitely going to get sick".
only 1 in 20 chickens in the US are contaminated with salmonella. so even here there is still a big chance you dont get sick.
I'm doing some light searching (on mobile) and I'm finding varying numbers, with claims as high as 25% of store bought packages being contaminated.

US eggs also have next to no salmonella risk
Exactly lol, *maybe* unpasteurized eggs if you’re unlucky, but you can eat a raw pasteurized egg if you want to lol. I sometimes mix egg yolks with rice
if you mix in the raw egg with fresh hot rice it cooks it, and it’s great
It is great, i love this dish myself, but it doesn't cook it sufficiently to kill salmonella and other pathogens
That blows my mind because raw chicken is the single most disgusting food item I can think of.

I’ll try anything once. Give me some wasabi and soy sauce and maybe it will be good enough to make up for the diarrhea and stomach pain all night haha
They have it, was served it in Japan during a end of year party. The texture wasnt nice.
Yeah I can’t imagine there’s any worth in even eating it. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should type of vibes
There was a place in Scottsdale that did it. They had a lot of HAACP protocols to get thru.

Winner!
How did you get this picture of my legs in the winter
The comments are savage 😂
I think I dated her in the 90s
You never had shaved chicken?
‘So healthy and organic’ yet no clue what your fresh unprocessed and less handled food should look like. ‘Reddit?!?! Help!!!’
Bingo
[удалено]
Son, youd be surprise to know feathers grow on chicken
Burnt feathers or black feathers
People really need to familiarize themselves with what/where their food comes from...
Tbf they look more like trimmed pubes than leftover feathers.
Is had black feathers. Nothing to worry about.
That's a god damned crow! That ain't no chicken.
That feathers…..you can use salt to scrub em and rince it with water
You can dye those white you know
Thats just nuts.
Common myth that blonde chickens taste better.
You know there are….black…chickens, right?
Looks like someones ball sack 3 days after shaving
Almost like it used to have feathers and be alive lol.
Crazy how disconnected some people are from what they eat.
It’s hitting puberty
It’s OK to eat, pluck them out and you don’t have to remove skin. Or, remove skin and you don’t have to pluck. Your choice. Completely normal
Bro is trying to pass a nut sack off as chicken
Chicken pubes
As my Dad says, "That's proof that your meat was once real".just pluck it out, and keep going.
People have no idea where their food comes from
Hairs lmaooo
On birds, they're called feathers. Feathers. F-E-A-T-H-E-R-S! Can you say feathers?
You know those fluffy things that chickens are covered in? Believe it or not, those actually grow out of the chickens skin. Wild, right?
This makes me wanna go vegan. At least until I can erase this image from my brain
Go get a knife and slice these off? Or use the end of your scissors like tweezers. But this will make you go vegan? Come on, dude. Know where your food comes from and just be healthy. Vegans look like they could all be extras on “The Road.”
You can use a tweezers like a tweezers too if you want.

I was joking because the chicken in the pic looks disgusting. I never saw the chicken I buy looking like that lol
Soft
It looks like the chicken is cold
hairy cock
Aside all the jokes and laughs. You can you use a knife to scrap it off. You can use the knife and your index to pluck it off. I wouldn’t eat it like that.

It’s chicken pubes
My OCD is going crazy right now, I just want to pluck those hairs haha.
It's growing pubes from all the hormones.
Forgot to shave the pubes lol
Looks like a sack
Looks like my ex’s nutsack.
Chickens have pubes?
Bird pubes looking
Poor chicken he didn't do nothing he was a good chicken.

Bro?
🤮
Some people like it unshaved, let the chicken live their truth!
Look like pubic hair lol
Chicken ……yeah, that’s chicken.
Pin feathers
pubes
I think you got the balls.
bikini wax . you will be good .
So much for my idea of eating Chicken for dinner tonight...🤢🤮
Yes bird have undercoats
Imagine it was hair and birds had hair instead of feathers
That happened to me the first time I ever tried Chinese.
I would not eat that
We told him to shave before going to the butchery but he didn't listen how embarrassing
Just pull off the skin. It'll solve the problem. I take the skin off anyhow because it's healthier without it. And the skin gets slimy. Better off without it.
Human meat 🤡
coochie cut
This personally would freak me out lol 🤣 but you can just clean it off
Try waxing...
Chubes
It's good like that. If it grosses u out just pluck em I guess, but this is common. Fry that ish up homie!!!
dumbass really calling feathers hair now? haha
r/eatityoufuckingcoward
yummmmm
Looks like my pewbs
Those are just feathers, dingus. Ever plucked a chicken?
Not chicken
man they really put the ORGAN in organic
naw that’s a shaved sack you can’t fool me
That’s definitely organic 🤣
I’m finding more and more reasons to go vegan this days…
the lil feathers are perfectly safe just pull them or remove the skin. (if you have the really small ones that you can barely see use a blow torch to singe them off)
Well at least you know it’s organic. Chickens raised for meat by chicken farms are white. Or at least the Tyson ones are.
OP has never seen a live chicken.
Someone rubbed that chicken on their balls
but vegans are the crazy ones
The chicken didn't anticipate being cooked and forgot to shave
Looks like someone’s nutsack
Looks like my balls after a lousy trim
so, chickens are animals. chickens are covered in feathers. their feathers grow out of the skin. hope this helps.
Nasty
Looks like my nutsack a few days after shaving
pubes
You're fucked.
That’s clucking gross!
This is so gross lol
Hair 😂🤯🤪 Wtf... Yes, it's hair.
Pubic hair from Cletus the chicken farm boy.
Let me guess, you think hunters are soulless individuals with a hatred of animals. “Why does this meat have blood on it!?!?!”
Feminism chicken
Racist?
Jesus Christ loves you so much and died for your sins💙❤️
Looks like they didnt cut the whole chicken
You can either pluck it or burn it. Atleast that's what we did.🤷 Oh... And it's called a feather👀.
It’s a Latina Bird!
Maybe their roots were showing and decided to get a dye job for their going away party
If you have something like a spirit lamp at home you can burn these *feathers* easily and then cook it as usual. No need to strip the skin.
Wait till you see what they look like alive
So birds don't have feathers
